Hi folks. It's encouraging to know there are other like- minded people on Vancouver Island preparing for SHTF scenarios. None of my friends, neighbors, or acquaintances are actively preparing for the obvious events like snowstorms, earthquakes, or even a bad windstorm taking down the power grid. I live on a farm in Saanich where I grow and store food, living mostly off-grid, and have the skills and equipment to survive long term. I'll monitor this discussion page for any ideas members have to help support one another, it does get lonely out here without someone to discuss things with.Ted

We are a young family originally from Nova Scotia, living in the arctic for the past 2 years. I have browsed this site as a guest for years and finally took the step to become a member. We are looking forward to networking and meeting like minded individuals that we can hopefully connect with when we make the move back down south (most likely rural Alberta). Looking forward to talking with you all.
